[Peace-discuss] Fw: Lou Dobbs is dangerous

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Pretty obvious that those listening to hate speech (including those on this list) lose their ability to differentiate betw dissent and hate/hateful speech. The Amy Goodman-Lou Dobbs analogy is a good example of how that can happen.

Carl,

I usually agree with most of your points and analysis, but how you can claim ANY similarities between Lou Dobbs ( and his promotion of racism against Mexicans and now inciting violence against those who want a watered down public healthcare option ) and Amy Goodman is beyond me !
